Why Gen. M. Jeff Thompson Changed His Mind About Chalk Bluff

“Colonel: Can you inform me whether the officers and men who were surrendered by General Robert E. Lee were permitted to pass within the Confederate lines or not? My reason for making this inquiry is that many of those I am called upon to surrender will prefer to go to Texas and Louisiana to remaining in neighborhoods where private animosities will keep the community in tumult, after the military authorities are withdrawn. Some will desire to take their families. Others think that their families will be safe will be absent themselves after being paroled.

M. Jeff Thompson

Brigadier General, Commanding North Sub-District of Arkansas.”
